RE: [mssms] OSD problem - Failed to save environment to (80070057)

Agreed. We are a full Lenovo shop with over 35+ models and only have 3 drivers 
in our boot image, one of which is VMxNet3 for VMs.

We use 3rd party disk encryption and have the exact error you have when the 
proper filter drivers are not loaded in WinPE. Basically, the disk cant be 
accessed or is in a raw state.

Which ADK version and which Windows 10 version?  If you enable testing and hit

For what it's worth, I've NEVER had to insert a storage or NIC driver if I've

You could run a status message query for

"All Status Messages from a specific component at a specific site".

Component is: "Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.exe"
Provide the Site Code and time when prompted.

The status message in question will have a description along the lines of:

User "DOMAIN\User" requested that the membership be refreshed for collection 
"CollectionName" (CollectionID)

Of course, this only works if they updated the membership via the console.

If they used a script or something else other than the console, you could try 
the query against the component "Unknown Application".

I have 4 groups of servers for updates:

Manual reboots

I'm setting up maintenance windows for each, and I'm ok with all of that.  My 
question is how to address the last group, which needs to be rebooted manually. 
 I'm trying to set everything up so that I have one deployment for all servers, 
and the maintenance windows take care of everything, including installing the 
updates for the last group, but not letting that group reboot automatically.  I 
can't figure out how to allow the install of updates, but to suppress the 
reboot on only that last group, as that checkbox is something that is setup 
during the creation of the deployment.

Hi Guys, in a situation where you have a bomgar appliance in a trusted domain 
and you are installing the bomgar button from another trusted domain pointing 
to the appliance...  it's not successfully installing...

My cmdline in a batch file.  I see it kick and run.  All the files are in 
place.  I can do it manually and the install is fine.  But it's a multi level 
install that is occurring and only finishing after it contacts the appliance.  
I do not maintain the appliance but I know  guy that does :)

Anyone been there done that?  TIA

Subject: [mssms] No network in WinPE - Only when TS initiated from Software 
Center

TL,DR: When I boot from media or PXE to run this task sequence, it works 
perfectly, but when initiated from software center, the computer has no network 
connectivity after it restarts to WinPE. Why would the network fail to 
initialize only when the TS is running as a refresh from software center?


Normally, our Win10 task sequence has been deployed to a collection as required 
and available only via media or PXE.  Now it's time to speed up our win10 
deployment, moving beyond only the computers that happen to pass through IT for 
reimaging. To that end, I've recently begun testing deployment of our Win10 
task sequence to another collection as an available deployment which can be 
initiated from software center.

When I use software center to begin a computer refresh using this task 
sequence, it goes through the statestore process and then reboots to WinPE, at 
which point the task sequence fails because it doesn't have a network 
connection in WinPE.  This is the same task sequence that I've been 
successfully running from PXE or boot media.

From what I understand, the task sequence should be using the same boot image 
when it reboots from Win7 to WinPE as it does for pxe boot.  If that is 
correct, why would the network initialize successfully when the computer PXE 
boots into WinPE, but not when it reboots from full Win7 into WinPE in the 
early stages of the task sequence?

Attached is the last smsts.log file showing the task sequence failure.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Full wipe & load with our Win10 machines. Only using in-place upgrades for new 
channel releases (WaaS).

Will never use an OEM image due to things like Superfish, Dell cert issue, etc. 
If Autopilot/Modern Management support resetting the OS first, then we will get 
there.

I can't speak for everyone but I would believe most people are doing 'wipe and 
loads.'  I think everyone's eventual goal is to get to that MDM/Co-Management 
state and start utilizing Auto-Pilot on stock devices straight from the vendor. 
 How quickly you can get there, though, depends on business needs.

MS is promoting a lot to upgrade existing systems, like Win 7 to 10 or even 
using out of the box installations from vendors, instead of wipe and load.

e.g. us: We are on Win 7 with Office 2013 and a few language packs in the image.
Upgrading to Win 10, now with office 2016 and the same language packs would 
take much longer than just wiping it with the image having all that already 
(and patched).

But how many of you are actually using upgrade, like from win7, or even using 
HP/Dell out of the box systems and just integrate them?

RE: [mssms] RE: set Adobe Reader DC as default pdf reader

[Daniel Ratliff]

I did find a setting just this week that helps with the below prompt. It’s not 
exactly related to default associations.

My issue was when I would click a mailto: link from email, I would get the 
below prompt, no matter how many times I clicked Always use this app.

Hi,

I am preparing to upgrade all users to Adobe Reader DC but unable to set it as 
default pdf reader for existing users on Windows 10.
I have tried several different approaches but they only work for new users - 
existing users still default to Edge.

Has anyone been able to deploy Adobe Reader DC and set it as default pdf reader 
for existing users on Windows 10?

Thanks,

RE: [mssms] RE: set Adobe Reader DC as default pdf reader

Correct, but also keep in mind Adobe guidance is not to have Reader and Acrobat 
installed at the same time. One or the other. But the issue still holds true 
for all kinds of other scenarios.

Subject: [mssms] set Adobe Reader DC as default pdf reader


Hi,

I am preparing to upgrade all users to Adobe Reader DC but unable to set it as 
default pdf reader for existing users on Windows 10.
I have tried several different approaches but they only work for new users - 
existing users still default to Edge.

Has anyone been able to deploy Adobe Reader DC and set it as default pdf reader 
for existing users on Windows 10?

Thanks,
Tim

We run HINV daily, update scans daily, don't use applications, and SINV is

Its absolutely fine for me, I have three colleagues who are also full admins,

We have removed the console and reinstalled, we have had them run the console

Howdy all, we're setting up a Splunk server to collect logs. Beyond our usual 
site server ConfigMgr logs (\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration 
Manager\Logs), what else would you recommend collecting? Here's a basic model 
of our environment:

Site server (SQL server)
Management point (software update point, app catalog, reporting)
Distribution point (that's it)

Our SCCM primary (no CAS), go these 2 write-ups. I get the first one. It will 
be remedied when a new CA server is built with  SHA2 and we go to corporate 
certificates. But has anyone heard of the second one?




ES-9 [MODERATE] SSL/TLS Service Configuration

SDGblue observed several security issues with the configuration of SSL/TLS 
services.

Observation – Self-signed SSL Certificates
The following hosts appeared to be using self-signed certificates:
• 

Observation – POODLE vulnerability
The following hosts appeared to be vulnerable to the Padding Oracle On 
Downgraded Legacy Encryption Vulnerability:
• 

This vulnerability may allow a Man-in-the-Middle attacker to decrypt messages. 
SDGblue recommends  disable SSLv3 to mitigate this issue. If unable to 
disable SSLv3, enable the TLS fallback SCSV mechanism.

Recommendation:
SDGblue recommends that  harden production SSL/TLS services according 
to the following standards:
• Use TLS certificates from a well-known and trusted certificate authority, or 
an internal corporate key infrastructure for publicly-facing and general 
employee-facing services
• Ensure that certificates are not expired.
• Use TLS certificates with a private key of 2048 bits
• Disable support for SSLv2 and SSLv3, and only allow TLS 1.0 and greater, with 
a strong preference for TLS 1.2
• Disable support for ciphers that use DES
• Disable support for ciphers that use RC4
• Disable support for symmetric keys less than 128 bits
• Disable support for session renegotiation
• Use Ephemeral Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE) key exchanges
• Use a 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman group

[mssms] RE: boot files / pxe /adk version

[Daniel Ratliff]

Can’t speak to the PXE issue, but 10.0.10240 is Win10 1507, which is out of

Hit an interesting issue, I’ve worked round it - but want a better 
understanding of it.

CM box running 1610
Had an issue with drivers in the boot image, so updated idk and imported NIC 
drivers back into it.

Assigned the new boot image to a few Task Sequences - got wind of an pxe issue 
when techs wanted a F12 build.
So, pxe traffic was reaching the server, everything was in place, but (no 
advert found) message was in the logs.

Checked and re-checked everything, nothing stupid was found; boot image was on 
three DP’s.

At this point I switched the TS back to the older Boot image and everything 
worked.

Below is a screen shot of the Boot Images available and their versions.
I’ve no idea if you can have more than two? Or even how I ended up with 3 - but 
there we go.

What I have noticed is that resorting the WDS service only sees two images 
referenced, CMP3 / CMP4, no mention of the new x86 file (the one that 
didn’t work); on that note I assigned the x64 image to the Task Sequence and 
got the same issue.

I’m migrating to a new 1706 server next week (can’t test pxe on it yet) - so 
its not a biggy, but I’d like to try and understand what is happening.

Thanks

RE: [mssms] Computer management for different vendors

[Daniel Ratliff]

Lenovo is terrible. Although their Systems Management has improved in the last 
year, its still leaps and bounds behind HP and especially Dell.


· ThinkVantage Updater

· ThinInstaller

· SCUP catalog

· SCCM CABs from the support site

· Direct downloads from the support site

For years, we have battled to get the latest drivers, and accurate 
documentation. The direct downloads are always the first updated, the rest lag 
behind terribly, sometimes up to 6 months. They have a new product to solve 
this problem, Lenovo Patch, but wait, you have to pay thousands for it when 
other vendors have free tools that accomplish the same thing.

Readme’s commonly have missing or incorrect information. Many of their BIOS 
force a reboot and cannot be suppressed. Many of their models don’t support 
automated BIOS changes like enabling UEFI and SecureBoot.

Systems Management complaints aside, they do have good hardware and good 
prices. Our failure rates are very low and we usually have great support when 
we work with the ThinkDeploy team, Joe Parker and folks.

Currently sick of HP, but not sure if other vendors are any better.
Escalation here in the UK is hit and miss.

Mainly driver issues, HP will say it supports this OS, drivers from HP don’t 
support that OS, so you run around getting vendor drivers.
And I’m sure this isn’t just HP, but I’m really tired of drivers that need 
installing later in a TS, I mean c’mon……

Good morning,

I’m having an issue with image deployments and was hoping to get some 
troubleshooting advice -

The issue started randomly late last week. No matter the device (multiple 
Laptop models and desktops), we are unable to deploy images to our clients. 
We’re on Current Branch of SCCM and we use MDT (Latest version). There have 
been no immediate changes to our environment - SCCM, MDT, boot image files, 
Task Sequences, Drivers Etc. Everything has been working perfectly fine and 
nothing has been changed. Have also been using multiple ports on the same VLAN 
we always use that is configured to PXE boot.

We can perform a PXE boot and it loads the files for winPE with reference to 
the correct boot image .WIM file, then it starts initializing windows PE and 
the MDT splash screen displays. At this point, the task sequences should 
populate, but they never do and the system reboots and repeats the cycle.

While troubleshooting:

· I hit F8 to break the sequence to verify that it’s not a NIC driver 
issue. It’s acquiring an IP address, so I don’t think it’s a driver issue. 
Again, we have been deploying images to all of these same laptops for months 
with the same boot images, driver packages, and task sequences. I’m guessing 
since it doesn’t even populate and let me choose a Task Sequence that the Task 
Sequences are not the issue.

· I’ve tried to use the x86 and the x64 MDT boot image files

· I’ve reloaded the boot images and verified

Again, we have been deploying images to all of these same laptops for months 
with the same boot images, driver packages, and task sequences. I'm guessing 
since it doesn't even populate and let me choose a Task Sequence that the Task 
Sequences are not the issue.

* I've tried to use the x86 and the x64 MDT boot image files

What does your smsts.log say in WinPE? No task sequences available?

Are you deploying to unknown computers? It sounds like the unknown computers

When you say Current Branch/latest, do you mean SCCM 1706 and MDT 8443?

Good morning,

I'm having an issue with image deployments and was hoping to get some 
troubleshooting advice -

The issue started randomly late last week. No matter the device (multiple 
Laptop models and desktops), we are unable to deploy images to our clients. 
We're on Current Branch of SCCM and we use MDT (Latest version). There have 
been no immediate changes to our environment - SCCM, MDT, boot image files, 
Task Sequences, Drivers Etc. Everything has been working perfectly fine and 
nothing has been changed. Have also been using multiple ports on the same VLAN 
we always use that is configured to PXE boot.

We can perform a PXE boot and it loads the files for winPE with reference to 
the correct boot image .WIM file, then it starts initializing windows PE and

Everything, and I mean everything, inventory wise is in the database. That is

What you want is v_gs_ for current hardware inventory and

SCCM can manage Workgroup and other domain systems without issue, and as long

Beginning with Configuration Manager version 1702, this operating system is not

We have a Premier case open for very similar issues.  60% of the clients never 
finish scanning.  We've been performing WSUS maintenance for 3 months with MSFT 
guidance.  Our WSUS is clean and shiny.

Engineer handed the case over to another engineer yesterday who suggested we 
pull the Windows 10 Cumulative Updates.  Specifically, decline them in WSUS.

Things immediately started working normally.

Turns out WSUS 3.x on Server 2008 R2 is not wholly compatible with the Win 10 
Cumulative updates.  We were told to add the Win 10 Cumus back in one by one 
(by doing the opposite of declining them in WSUS) after the clients scanned for 
all of the other patches for August.  We have not done this yet.

The fix is to upgrade to Server 2012 R2 for the site and SUP.  WSUS 4 has no 
issue with Win 10 Cumus.

We are moving our SCCM to another datacenter and will upgrade/build on Server 
2012 R2 or 2016 at that time.

I ran into this a few weeks ago.  There was a lot that needed to be done, but 
once completed everything came back to normal.  I increased memory pool, 
throttled the CPU (35%) so I can at least work on the server and clean things 
up.  The WSUS cleanup wizard would crash all the time, but keep doing it until 
it runs all the way through.  I also found that some of the scripts for db 
cleanup and indexing for the WSUS DB worked well.  Also, if you are adding a 
bunch of new systems like I was, the scans was killing the server... A 
combination of all of these things were causing problems. Also, check your 
event viewer log files to see if the services in the WSUS app pool are failing. 
 This was happening to me and my systems we always trying to scan which also 
was a contributing factor to performance issues.

Good luck with this, I took me about 3 days to get everything back to normal.  
Reach out to me directly if you need any help.

Hello,

CM2012 R2 SP1 (yes, we're upgrading soon)

Our MP that hosts WSUS is really taking a performance hit lately. RAM was 
running almost 100% constantly at one point, we were able to add more RAM and 
dedicate a chunk of it to the WSUS pool in IIS. Now the CPU is pegging. It's 
all the WSUS pool in IIS. I tried limiting the CPU usage setting, but it's 
still running really high.

I would like to know if some has a definitive guide for cleaning up the WSUS DB 
and possibly reindexing it to hopefully clear up some of these issues? I see a 
lot of results in Google, and I want to play this very safe.

are fine.  This started back in April/May time-frame and I have to patch them 
manually though Windows Update now.  They will eventually be replaced but it is 
a pain to not have the ability to monitor and patch them via SCCM.  Other 
deployment methods are fine for them, just Software Updates issue.

I verified they have the latest Windows Update Agent and I tried various 
methods of troubleshooting such as recreating the SoftwareDistribution folder, 
re-registering DLL files, etc.  Nothing is resolving problem so far.

Our SCCM is at Current Branch 1702.

To answer your question, yes, but in all honesty I'm don't remember working on 
this issue myself.  We stopped work on this issue last year to concentrate on 
our Windows 7 service, but in the past few months we have been working on the 
Windows 10 service again and we don't have this issue.

Looking at our task sequence, at the beginning we set a variable 
OSDBitLockerStatus=Protected using WMI:
WMI Namespace: root\cimv2\Security\MicrosoftVolumeEncryption
WQL Query: select * from win32_encryptablevolume where driveletter = 'c:' and 
protectionstatus = '1'
Then we use the built-in 'Disable BitLocker' step if 
OSDBitLockerStatus=Protected.
Then we restart in Windows PE:

[cid:image001.png@01D30211.9B0964A0]

The rest of the task sequence is fairly standard after that.

I would surmise that this allows BitLocker to be disabled in Windows and allows 
the boot image to be staged before rebooting to WinPE.

Sorry I'm a bit cagey with my answer, the original issue was some time ago and 
to be honest I had forgotten we had that issue at all.  We have had consultants 
in helping us work on the new Windows 10 service and either they, or one of my 
colleagues, must have added this.

Let me know if this helps.

As this is a test build I'm only running the built-in Windows Defender, no 
other Anti-Virus is installed.

I get your point about access denied being the cause. Initially I thought it 
might be BitLocker, but the 'disable BitLocker' step in the task sequence 
completes successfully.

It seems that the key is the line 'Failed to copy Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD...' 
which then leads to the ultimate failure of 'BootLoader::restore: 
C:\_SmsTsWinPE, Z:\...' as  I don't think it is mounting the BCD to Z: 
properly, if at all.

I don't know anything about the specific process that is used so I just don't 
know how to diagnose it any further :(

Just to let you all know we have successfully implemented Upgrade Readiness 
with System Center Configuration Manager.

The documentation is not great (hasn't been updated to reflect recent changes) 
and there doesn't seem to be a single end-to-end document from Microsoft, but 
we found a great article by Nickolaj Andersen and it mostly matched the process 
we needed to follow:

Setup a connection between Upgrade Analytics and ConfigMgr Current 
Branch<https://www.scconfigmgr.com/2016/11/22/setup-a-connection-between-upgrade-analytics-and-configmgr-current-branch/>

Some noteworthy points are:

  *   The OMS workspace can be specifically configured with the 'Free' data 
plan (500MB daily upload limit, 7 day data retention, 90 day activity log and 
500min/month runbooks)
  *   Make sure you assign the App permissions to the resource group and the 
OMS workspace
  *   We found although the documentation says the script will return exit 
codes, it does not in all cases e.g. returns 0 if a pending reboot is required 
(not very helpful) so we made some minor tweaks to the PowerShell script to 
ensure the our detection rules and return codes were meaningful in ConfigMgr
  *   When you run the script it can take around 48 hours before the data is 
visible in OMS
  *   The ConfigMgr connector has a default weekly synchronisation schedule so 
it can take 7 days before ConfigMgr gets the data after OMS

Subject: [mssms] RE: Upgrade Readiness with System Center Configuration Manager

Just to let you all know we have successfully implemented Upgrade Readiness 
with System Center Configuration Manager.

The documentation is not great (hasn't been updated to reflect recent changes) 
and there doesn't seem to be a single end-to-end document from Microsoft, but 
we found a great article by Nickolaj Andersen and it mostly matched the process 
we needed to follow:

Setup a connection between Upgrade Analytics and ConfigMgr Current 
Branch<https://www.scconfigmgr.com/2016/11/22/setup-a-connection-between-upgrade-analytics-and-configmgr-current-branch/>

Some noteworthy points are:

  *   The OMS workspace can be specifically configured with the 'Free' data 
plan (500MB daily upload limit, 7 day data retention, 90 day activity log and 
500min/month runbooks)
  *   Make sure you assign the App permissions to the resource group and the 
OMS workspace
  *   We found although the documentation says the script will return exit 
codes, it does not in all cases e.g. returns 0 if a pending reboot is required 
(not very helpful) so we made some minor tweaks to the PowerShell script to 
ensure the our detection rules and return codes were meaningful in ConfigMgr
  *   When you run the script it can take around 48 hours before the data is 
visible in OMS
  *   The ConfigMgr connector has a default weekly synchronisation schedule so 
it can take 7 days before ConfigMgr gets the data after OMS

We are using it. It's very simple to setup. All you need is a free OMS account, 
and an Azure Subscription.

Once you setup your Azure Subscription, make sure you go into the Azure Portal 
and change the subscription to Pay as you go. We confirmed with our TAM and an 
Azure SME that there is no cost as long as the only service you add in OMS is 
Upgrade Readiness.

I am also interested in this, and are in a similar situation where we have an

analytics ingestion service as you describe is free, you will need a CC to sign 
up though. I have not pursued this as I am hoping my company will setup a full 
Azure footprint very soon. We also have some telemetry data challenges with our

As this is a test build I'm only running the built-in Windows Defender, no 
other Anti-Virus is installed.

I get your point about access denied being the cause. Initially I thought it 
might be BitLocker, but the 'disable BitLocker' step in the task sequence 
completes successfully.

It seems that the key is the line 'Failed to copy Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD...' 
which then leads to the ultimate failure of 'BootLoader::restore: 
C:\_SmsTsWinPE, Z:\...' as  I don't think it is mounting the BCD to Z: 
properly, if at all.

I don't know anything about the specific process that is used so I just don't 
know how to diagnose it any further :(

Hi all,

We are having an issue here with our Windows 10 image in that if we try and 
initiate an OSD from Windows via Software Center the task sequence fails with 
'Task sequence execution failed with error code 80004005' but if us PXE it 
works fine.

An extract from the log seems to indicate there is a problem staging the boot

We do something similar, we just exclude the ARP data. Just use the usage data

That's a good point that the usage data is based off exe. I didn't think about

This is the closest I could get which shows me the apps on the system but 
because it's the CCM_RECENTLY_USED_APPS view, the ProductName is not always the

The switch you want is /norestart, not /noreboot. That should do it.

Subject: [mssms] Handling Unexpected Reboots in Task Sequences

I'm working on a task sequence to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and prior to 
the upgrade, because it was causing issues, we need to remove the DisplayLink 
Driver and Core Software. So I have a script that removes those and that 
Uninstall DisplayLink step is calling it (from package source). I've added the 
/noreboot and REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS parameters to the msiexec within the script 
but the uninstall always forces a reboot with no heads up and I can't seem to 
suppress it. I tried putting a step afterwards that runs "shutdown -a" in to 
see if it would catch it before it restarted but no luck. So the question is, 
what would be the best way to uninstall DisplayLink and be able to handle the 
unexpected reboots in the middle of the task sequence so that when the machine 
comes back up, it would continue with the OS upgrade?

I'm in the process of testing using an application to uninstall DisplayLink and 
then checking the box under Options within the TS to retry on unexpected 
restart so that's why you see two Uninstall DisplayLinks below. But figured I'd 
reach out to everyone here as well in case that doesn't work.

Subject: [mssms] Windows 10 1607 Upgrade Task Sequence using custom setup.exe 
command line

Hello,

We are trying to update our Windows 10 1511 machines to 1607 using the Upgrade 
Task Sequence in ConfigMgr CB 1606.

We have a third-party encryption product on laptops so we need to use a custom 
command line for Setup.EXE and cannot use the canned "Upgrade Operating System" 
action.

We are trying to use a "Run Command Line" to run the following:

%W10UPGRADEPATH01%\setup.exe /quiet /Auto Upgrade /DynamicUpdate disable 
/InstallDrivers %W10DRIVERS01% /ReflectDrivers "C:\Program Files\Encryption" 
/copylogs 
\\server\share\Logs\W10_1607_Upgrade\%COMPUTERNAME%
 /noreboot /postoobe "C:\windows\smstspostupgrade\setupcomplete.cmd"

We can make the Task Sequence run pre-checks and then kick off this command 
line but the machine does not finish the Post-Processing steps of the Task 
Sequence (e.g., Install Updates, etc.).

Has anyone reverse engineered a way of doing this?

We have tried:

1.   Not using /postpoobe switch and task sequence never moves onto 
Post-Processing steps

2.   Using /Postoobe switch and copying what setupcomplete.cmd that SCCM is 
using to c:\windows\smstspostupgrade. This leads to tsmbootstrap.exe running 
and saying "there is a task sequence already running"

3.   Using /Postoobe switch and copying setupcomplete.cmd that SCCM is 
using to c:\windows\setup\scripts. This leads to tsmbootstrap.exe running and 
saying "there is a task sequence already running"

4.   Setting SMSTSRBOOTREQUESTED variable but it still does not continue 
running task sequence

5.   Adding Restart Computer action

6.   Removing Restart Computer action

7.   Using "Upgrade Operating System" action instead of Run Command Line 
with exact same task sequence and it works

I see that several folks have requested this for future revisions of ConfigMgr 
but I'm disappointed that this was not foreseen by MS.

Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: [mssms] RE: Upgrade Readiness with System Center Configuration Manager

Just to let you all know we have successfully implemented Upgrade Readiness 
with System Center Configuration Manager.

The documentation is not great (hasn't been updated to reflect recent changes) 
and there doesn't seem to be a single end-to-end document from Microsoft, but 
we found a great article by Nickolaj Andersen and it mostly matched the process 
we needed to follow:

Setup a connection between Upgrade Analytics and ConfigMgr Current 
Branch<https://www.scconfigmgr.com/2016/11/22/setup-a-connection-between-upgrade-analytics-and-configmgr-current-branch/>

Some noteworthy points are:

* The OMS workspace can be specifically configured with the 'Free' data 
plan (500MB daily upload limit, 7 day data retention, 90 day activity log and 
500min/month runbooks)

* Make sure you assign the App permissions to the resource group and 
the OMS workspace

* We found although the documentation says the script will return exit 
codes, it does not in all cases e.g. returns 0 if a pending reboot is required 
(not very helpful) so we made some minor tweaks to the PowerShell script to 
ensure the our detection rules and return codes were meaningful in ConfigMgr

* When you run the script it can take around 48 hours before the data 
is visible in OMS

* The ConfigMgr connector has a default weekly synchronisation schedule 
so it can take 7 days before ConfigMgr gets the data after OMS

We are using it. It's very simple to setup. All you need is a free OMS account, 
and an Azure Subscription.

Once you setup your Azure Subscription, make sure you go into the Azure Portal 
and change the subscription to Pay as you go. We confirmed with our TAM and an 
Azure SME that there is no cost as long as the only service you add in OMS is 
Upgrade Readiness.

Subject: [mssms] Intel NUC's Using Same WMIC Model Entry

Hello All,

I have a new situation with the newer model Intel NUC's. Normally in an OSD 
task sequence I would use a WMI Query for the model. For the Intel NUC's it 
comes back as "Nobilis". Intel is still using that same model "Nobilis" in 
their newer NUC's so now when I run OSD on any NUC's, old or new, it will run 
that same driver package step since they all come back as Nobilis.

I am trying to figure out something I guess more unique or an addition to this 
query so the newer NUC's apply the correct driver package while also trying to 
avoid adjust the existing step for the older NUC's. I thought about targeting 
the processor for these new NUC's. Just trying now to figure out the query for 
this but anyone have a better idea on what to target?

Thanks!
Chris

Hello,
in my SCCM console it take a very long time (approx. 5minutes) to display the 
root of the "packages" and "drivers" nodes.
(which also means that if have to wait very a long time before being able to 
perform a search in all the subfolder in the "search tab")

Everything else works ok and quickly, it's just those 2 nodes and I have no 
idea why we have this behavior. (there is only one package at the root of the 
package node and 20 subfolders, the drivers node contains 1800 items at the 
root and 15 subfolders)

The console is installed on the primary Site. It was upgraded from sccm 2007 to 
2012R2, then updated to 1610)

Any idea what could be the cause or where to start looking to correct this 
issue? Or do you see the same thing on your side?

Thanks.

Subject: [mssms] SCCM powershell update?

So for a couple of years now, I've had a script that we've used about 500 times 
that adds device variables to CM devices using New-CMDeviceVariable for use 
during provisioning and deployment.

New-CMDeviceVariable -DeviceName device -IsMask $False -VariableName Var1 
-VariableValue "Value1"

Been working fine, like I said for years.

But now today, I get this when running the above:

New-CMDeviceVariable : ConfigMgr Error Object:
instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus
{
   CauseInfo = "-2016279279";
   Description = "CSspMachineExtProperties: The machine is not an SMS 
client.";
   ErrorCode = 1078462213;
   File = 
"e:\\cm1606_rtm\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspmachineextprops.cpp";
   Line = 942;
   Operation = "PutInstance";
   ParameterInfo = "";
   ProviderName = "ExtnProv";
   StatusCode = 2147749889;
};
At line:2 char:1
+ New-CMDeviceVariable -DeviceName device -IsMask $False -Variable ...

(Microsoft.Confi...VariableCommand:NewDeviceVariableCommand) 
[New-CMDeviceVariable], WqlQueryException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : 
UnhandledException,Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.Cmdlets.Collections.Commands.NewDeviceVariableCommand

I have the SCCM psd1 file load at startup in my profiles and this morning I 
noticed that it spent time contacting a MS download site to update?  I didn't 
think much of it then so I don't have the specific text.  The object doesn't 
actually have a client attached to it yet because I provision the object prior 
to installing the client.  Does New-CMDeviceVariable really care if the object 
is an SMS client now like the error seems to suggest?

Is anything new with the powerhshell cmdlets today?  My site server is still 
1606 at the moment.

Hi,

I see SCCM Admins try many options to find User ID of a computer, regular 
tables like v_r_system, v_gs_operating_system etc have accuracy problems. 
Win32_userprofile seems to be next best option, thought it has its own issues 
too. Like it shows more users per PC than intended etc., some confusion on 
refcount, loaded attributes on how best to add a logic with them

Wanted to know if anyone successfully used this table to get data to 
satisfactory level, if so can you share query and suggestions pls

Thanks, Vasu

We are in the process of deploying folder redirects and we can't seem to get it

logs onto the system but no other user will work on that same device.


Some background on the environment. We are running two DC with server 2016

Hi;

We had started rollout of Windows 10 Anniversary update in 
phases. In first batch of approx. 850 systems we hardly had 40 systems which 
failed to deploy the update due to various reasons.
But in the second batch we had almost 200 system showing 
failure code 0x80240fff. I tried to research on this generic failure error and 
most of the sites/blogs suggest issues with BITS.

Has anyone faced this kind of issue and if yes, found any 
solution to this?

We are about to start rolling out to batch number 3 very soon 
and I'd like to fix this issue before that.

P.S. all SUP/MP and DPs are healthy and no issues found on BITS 
on all of the boxes.

I'm currently at 1610.  I see 2 hotfixes available, and now, 1702.  Do I need 
to install the hotfixes to update to 1702?  Anyone seeing major issues with 
1702?  We don't have Win 10 in the environment yet, Helpdesk is working on the

[mssms] RE: Opinions Local Admin

[Daniel Ratliff]

Just had an engagement with Microsoft a few weeks ago. Using a single local 
admin password is one of the biggest risks to orgs for easily gaining access to 
a network. From a security perspective, it’s very high risk.

Gain access to a PC with local admin -> Move laterally until you find a domain 
admins PC -> move vertically and own the network.

We actually developed a utility that ran as a service to create a unique 
password for each machine and change it every day.  The algorithm factored in 
the name of the computer and the date when generating the password.

If we ever needed to use the password we had a corresponding tool that would 
calculate out what the password for a given machine was for the day.

We ran with that for at least 10 years or so, then about 2 years ago we just 
used Group Policy to disable all local accounts.

For a while we were thinking about LAPS, but opted for disabling the local 
accounts.

[mssms] RE: Upgrade Readiness with System Center Configuration Manager

We are using it. It's very simple to setup. All you need is a free OMS account, 
and an Azure Subscription.

Once you setup your Azure Subscription, make sure you go into the Azure Portal 
and change the subscription to Pay as you go. We confirmed with our TAM and an 
Azure SME that there is no cost as long as the only service you add in OMS is 
Upgrade Readiness.

This is built into 1610 now. I would use that method. However, it cannot

RE: [mssms] Maintenance Windows & Restart Behavior

[Daniel Ratliff]

Honestly, hard to say. We have it implemented, but the team that owns it hasn’t 
started using it. We know the capability is there for full automation, the only 
prereq we had to do was set the EnablePME reg key to allow WoL on the NIC.

Thanks, guys.

Daniel, how has 1E Nightwatchman been?  Our WoL isn't perfect.  It has gotten 
better since I configured compliance settings for NIC Power Management.  Since 
we are smaller they won't do a PoC with us but until I can see proof that this 
gives us a better success-rate, I can't justify the cost to management.

Hello Everyone,

This isn't as much of a question as much as a poll on how people are doing 
this.  I know everyone is in charge of different environments, different 
sizing, and other complex variables.  I'd like to know what settings you 
specify for the following items:


  1.  Maintenance Windows

 *   What are your MW for Windows Clients?
 *   Do you usually just do it for 'Restarts' or 'Installs' as well?
 *   Are you leveraging WoL and/or AMT?
 *   If so, what is your success rate?

  1.  Restart Behavior

 *   What do you specify for the two Client Notifications?

  1.  Communication

 *   How have you communicated this to end-users?  It's obviously a 
delicate balance between security and end-user convenience.  Every environment 
is different but I'm curious.

Anything else that I missed in this realm, I would appreciate knowing!

Thanks!

Never configure any of your windows update settings with GPO, let SCCM handle

I believe the setting you want is here for Win10:

For Win7, we just disable the ability to check online:

RE: [mssms] Maintenance Windows & Restart Behavior

[Daniel Ratliff]

Here you go!

  1.  Maintenance Windows
 *   Physicals only have a couple edge cases where they only want reboots 
at a certain time. Mostly long running SAS reports and such. All VMs  have MWs 
each night at specific times, staggered across all VMs. This is because of our 
storage and the impact deploying any patches because they download and run 
locally. All software deployments run from DP and have no impact.
 *   Do you usually just do it for 'Restarts' or 'Installs' as well? Both, 
see above.
 *   Are you leveraging WoL and/or AMT? A little WoL, 1E Nightwatchman, but 
nothing standardized. No AMT.
 *   If so, what is your success rate? Not sure, never reported on it.
  2.  Restart Behavior
 *   What do you specify for the two Client Notifications? 1440 & 120.
  3.  Communication
 *   Yes, posted on our intranet a few years ago. Everyone knows they get 
24 hours, unless they are on a VM.

Subject: [mssms] DP log issue

Hi Everyone,

We’re running SCCM 1610 since December.  I’ve had a few DP’s get content 
validation errors on them and when I check the smsdpmon.log file, it has been 
spammed with “Ignoring drive C:\. File C:\NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS exists.” Lines, 
about 40 of them every couple of seconds during content validation.  This is 
causing the files to rollover too quickly and I can no longer look at the logs 
to the beginning of the content eval.  Judging by the time stamps, I can only 
see the last 25% of what happened during the content eval.  This is happening 
on all of our DP’s.  We have the no_sms_on_drive.sms file on all C drives for 
DP’s.

Prior to the upgrade to 1610, we were running 1602 and never had this issue 
with the log files being spammed with “Ignoring drive C:\. File 
C:\NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS exists.” And I was always able to see the logs entries 
for the entire content eval.

Has anyone else ran into the same issue or know of a solution?  This is making 
the log files useless for any content issues that come up.

Thanks,

Does that sound like a good plan or would you guys attack it in a different

No export, just open each TS and copy the steps from one to the other.

[mssms] RE: SQL Query question / best practice

[Daniel Ratliff]

We do a good amount of this, feeding to and from lots of different tools, JAMF, 
CA SAM, CA APM, and a few others.

Most of these tools use a single query to gather data, there really isn't much 
ad-hoc reporting. We vet the query and ensure it is properly written and 
performs well. Our SQL server has 64GB RAM and 16 vCPUs for roughly 63k 
clients. No issues on performance.

Subject: [mssms] SQL Query question / best practice

I am curious is anyone has any thoughts / suggestions surrounding 3rd party 
applications / tools running queries directly against the SCCM SQL database.

In my organization depending upon the company we have a few different asset 
management systems some are home brewed and others are 3rd party (manage 
engine) vendors. One of our biggest challenges is keeping all of our inventory 
/ asset management systems in "sync" so to speak. I have been approached by a 
few different departments / companies that would like to run queries directly 
against the SCCM SQL instance rather than use any type of built in reports / 
queries. They would like to automate the export of client information in their 
home grown tool without changing their process to include running canned 
reports out of the console or website. I offered to provide subscriptions to 
those reports they feel would be valuable but was told it would require a 
change to their current process they were not prepared to make.

So my thought is it should be no problem to provide them read only access to 
the database but my real concern is surrounding performance. I don't want 
someone running a poorly written SQL query against the database and possibly 
slowing down the system speed. When I suggested this could possibly happen I 
was assured by the developers that they are very experienced in writing SQL 
queries and this would not happenyadda, yadda, yadda.


Thanks for any suggestions.

Also about client cache but different question… I noticed on the link you 
posted, it says this:

Note
The cache folder is a regular Windows folder, so you can automate deletion of 
the folder contents using a script, a utility, or with the PowerShell cmdlet 
Remove-Item.

In the “old’n days” of ConfigMgr (2007-2012), I always heard (maybe 
incorrectly) it was a no-no to delete folders from ccmcache because they were 
tied to WMI so closely and if you deleted a cache folder and then tried to run 
the deployment again from Run Advertised Programs/Software Center, WMI would 
think the content still existed in ccmcache and would just fail to run. It 
wasn’t smart enough to know that it had to be downloaded again.

Doesn’t sound like that’s true anymore…? Or did I misunderstand it in previous 
versions of CM.

Which setting takes precedence, size or percentage? For instance, if I have a
